He's said to be confident that he's the victim in the war he declared against the U-S government.
McVeigh spent his final days watching T-V, writing letters, and meeting with his attorneys.

YOU HEAD OUT INTO THE SUN- YOU ALSO NEED TO THINK ABOUT ANY MEDICATIONS

THATS BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME MEDICATIONS WHICH HAVE AS A SIDE EFFECT
SOMETHING CALLED PHOTOSENSITIVITY...
MEANING THE MEDICATION MAKES YOUR SKIN EQUISITIVELY SENSITIVE TO THE
SUN-- AND AS A RESULT YOU CAN GET THE WORST SUNBURN OF YOUR LIFE OR A
REALLY ITCHY RASH WITH JUST A FEW MINUTES OF SUN EXPOSURE.
AND THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMMON MEDICATIONS THAT CAN BE
PHOTOSENSITIZERS - INCLUDING :
CERTAIN ANTIBIOTICS SUCH AS SULFA AND TETRACYCLINE.
ARTHRITIS PILLS MAY ALSO CAUSE PHOTOSENSITIVITY.SO CAN DIURETICS OR
WATER PILLS . THE SAME GOES FOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS.
CERTAIN ANTI DEPRESSANT MEDICATIONS ARE ALSO ON THE LIST.
NOW EVEN THOUGH SUNSCREEN AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WILL HELP- THEY ARE NO
GUARANTEE YOU WONT GET AN AWFUL SUNBURN EXPOSURE. TO MAKE MATTERS
WORSE-ITS HARD TO TELL JUST WHO IS GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BAD
REACTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE- YOU CAN HAVE TAKEN A MEDICATION SAFELY FOR A
LONG TIME OR TAKEN SOMETHING MANY TIMES BEFORE AND STILL HAVE A PROBLEM.
SO WHENEVER YOU ARE GIVEN A MEDICATION- ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS-
ITS IMPORTANT YOU BE TOLD WHETHER PHOTSENSITIVITY IS A POTENTIAL SIDE
